THE PEAK OF MINERAL HILL: IDAHO’S HIGHEST PRIVATE RETREAT Own the literal peak of Mineral Hill. Perched at a staggering 8,500 feet—just 100 feet shy of the legendary Buffalo Hump—sits Idaho’s most elevated private residence. This 1,300-sq-ft “island in the sky” occupies a rare 1-acre deeded summit, offering a 360-degree vantage point. Gaze directly down upon the turquoise gems of Bear and Crescent Lakes, or scan the horizon to see the Seven Devils of Hells Canyon or the majestic peaks of Montana. Surrounded by the Nez Perce National Forest and Gospel-Hump Wilderness, this property offers absolute solitude. Step onto the deck to witness unparalleled sunsets as the light fades over the granite face of Buffalo Hump. For the sportsman, this is the ultimate high-altitude basecamp. Moments away, trails lead to pristine high-mountain lakes teeming with cutthroat and rainbow trout that rarely see human activity. Elite hunting for Elk, Deer, and Bear is quite literally in your backyard. A trophy property of this magnitude is a generational asset, often held for decades before being offered again. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a geographic superlative—the highest residential vantage point in the Gem State. Mineral Hill is more than a home; it is a legacy.
